The two entrances/exits are not completely isolated.
When Sander and Xiao Liu met Chen Yubai, their initial excitement quickly faded after meeting Lin Zhihao's angry and resentful gaze.
Sander clenched his fist in dissatisfaction, about to glare back, but was stopped by Chen Yubai.
"He's in a bad mood right now, I don't recommend you provoke him further."
That would only make Lin Zhihao angrier and would do no good.
If the two sides were to fight, they could later say that Lin Zhihao struck first, but the other side could also accuse them of provoking the fight.
If he were labeled as disrespectful to his seniors and arrogant, Chen Yubai's explanations would be useless.
Xiao Liu chimed in quietly, "Maybe he's waiting for you to provoke him so he can take his anger out on you."
Sander thought for a moment and then loosened his clenched fist.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
“Many people have said that I am too impulsive. If I become an artist and stand in front of the camera, I will be swept up by public opinion sooner or later.”
Xiao Liu: "So you know that, why haven't you changed it?"
Sander shrugged. "Emotions are hard to control."
As she spoke, she grabbed one of them with each hand, "Come on, let's go back to the lounge. If we stay here any longer, I'm worried that I might impulsively rush up and beat him up!"
The three of them joked and bantered as they returned to the lounge.
They completely ignored how incompetent and furious Lin Zhihao was.
However, this matter is not over yet.
After they left the stage, the seventh round of the competition began.
The last young man to take the stage was a software engineer.
His mention of his profession sparked a discussion.
Because in many people's stereotypes, these kinds of people are usually homebodies, often accompanied by the characteristic of being "not good at speaking", and singing, which requires stage performance, is probably irrelevant to them.
But this challenger shattered their preconceived notions.
Her sporty style makes her look very cheerful.
It has absolutely nothing to do with being a "homebody" or "not good at speaking".
After the initial commotion caused by surprise subsided, Xiwen asked his second question:
"When you came to participate in this program, did you ever think about challenging Ms. Clementine?"
“Absolutely not.” He shook his head decisively, then said casually:
"Before coming up here, all I could think about was challenging Chen Yubai."
This statement indirectly confirms that Lin Zhihao changed the order of appearance.
The audience erupted in uproar.
[Does this mean he wasn't actually the last to appear? Or was the order changed?]
[He's so unlucky! Facing Cleefia directly, even a Westerner like him needs a lot of courage, right?]
[Was that said on purpose? Then those who guessed Lin Zhihao would change his appearance order were right, weren't they?]
[I knew something must have happened during the time Lin Zhihao was absent.]
[The production team usually wouldn't let guests say things like that, right? So he acted on his own initiative?]
……
The audience couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Other viewers spoke freely in the live chat.
It can be said that just one sentence from the seventh challenger has already put Lin Zhihao at a disadvantage in public opinion.
As the host, Xiwen was clearly not informed in advance, and a look of surprise flashed across her face when she heard this.
Immediately help apply the patch:
"That's a real shame, but luckily, Chen wasn't the last one to accept the challenge."
He emphasized the word 'luck' very heavily.
The person being asked didn't appreciate the gesture, but instead pushed up their glasses and smiled, saying, "Perhaps."
The host's attempt to smooth things over not only failed to salvage Lin Zhihao's precarious reputation, but also further confirmed the audience's previous suspicions.
Xiwen asked helplessly, "Then you can only challenge Ms. Clementine. Will you be disappointed?"
“No.” The young man shook his head. “I love listening to her songs, but I’m worried I’ll disappoint Ms. Clementia.”
"I think you should just do your best."
Xiwen offered a word of comfort and quickly ended the casual conversation.
The seventh round of the title defense competition has officially begun.
The challenger's strength should not be underestimated.
It's worth mentioning that he chose a song with a style very similar to "See You Again".
All of this demonstrates that his challenge to Chen Yubai was not just empty talk.
Clefia continued to perform consistently.
As expected, the game ended with Cleefia dominating the match.
The second part of the competition has now concluded.
However, the controversy caused by Lin Zhihao's last-minute change of the order of appearance has only just begun to spread online and is showing signs of becoming a major upheaval.
If Lin Zhihao had won after changing the order, it would have been fine; at most, people would have said he used any means necessary to win.
But the truth is, he lost.
I lost twice.
A crushing defeat.
This makes Lin Zhihao's actions seem like a joke.
And it won't earn you any goodwill.
[Saying he wants to challenge singers from other continents is just a way to bully a newcomer.]
[No wonder they've been targeting Chen Yubai; they think he's easy to bully, right?]
[Turns out I ran into a brick wall, hahaha]
[If the order of appearance hadn't changed, losing to Clementa might have been a respectable defeat. But now... losing to a newcomer just means you're useless, doesn't it?]
To be honest, Chen Yubai sang the second song really well.
[Who says Chen's singing is bad? If you're so capable, go up on stage and sing his second song yourself, and you'll see how difficult it is to control your breath!]
……
The spread of public opinion seemed to have spiraled out of control.
It's as if what Lin Zhihao did has been officially certified and is known to everyone.
Of course, along with this topic, Chen Yubai's second song, "Snow Flower," also became popular.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Wantang released the Japanese version of "Yuki no Hana" and the Blue Star Common Language version of "Piao Xue" at the same time.
Soon, topics such as the three versions of "Snow Flower", three lyrics for one song, and "Snow Flower" by Zigui became popular.
[Regardless of the version, it's all quite tragic.]
[Zi Gui truly deserves the title of a genius composer! The Dongzhou music circle is absolutely right to give her this title.]
[What a genius! He's clearly the big boss! With the big boss on the field, how can anyone still think Chen Yubai will be eliminated in the first episode? Unbelievable!]
[I prefer the Japanese version; it sounds better to me.]
[I prefer the Mandarin version, firstly because I can understand it, and secondly because I like the line, "It turns out you took away the warm spring and summer of my life / Even the fruits of autumn only hang in dreams / It turns out what I was searching for was my own unresolved longing."]
[Teacher Zigui has started her own self-criticism again.]
[Other composers: Compete with others in lyrics and music; Zigui: One song reaches the top, two or three follow closely behind, she has written so many songs that she can only compare herself to herself.]
[It is suggested that the new song chart should have a top ten list, with each artist only allowed one song to appear on the chart.]
……
Three songs were released in a row.
Even though it was the same tune, Lu Wantang was still the subject of much teasing.
At the same time, the release of songs in three languages made countless people understand that no matter how many languages Xizhou had, it would not cause Lu Wantang any trouble.
